What's the most important exercise that every BUD/s Candidate or Functional Athlete should master? It's not what you think. It's not the Push Up or Pull Up Either. But it helps both those movements...
The Deadlift is probably the single most important movement that a BUD/S candidate or any functional/tactical athlete should master and train.
Why? Being an asset to your team means you have a strong core. And it means you can pick up heavy objects with correct form and not get injured.

When learning how to perform the Deadlift, it's best to have a coach so you can get immediate feedback.
Start out with a light weight bar or PVC pipe. Under 10 pounds.
Foot placement is super important. If you start out standing incorrectly the whole movement will be wrong.
Most of all, don't overcomplicate this movement and don't try to lift too much weight.
